This prepared microscope slide features a section of a lichen thallus, offering a detailed look at the composite symbiotic structure of fungal and algal cells. Expertly stained and labeled, the slide highlights characteristic features such as the algal layer, fungal filaments, and medulla.
Each slide measures 75mm x 25mm (3 x 1 in.) and is made from sealed, inert materials for safe use in biology classrooms and labs. This slide is ideal for NGSS-aligned lessons focused on structure-function relationships, symbiosis, and plant-like organisms in biodiversity and ecology curricula.
